This is a reply to James Toebes:

James!  This sounds very interesting and cool.    Web hosting with your own
hardware and ISP connection.

You need to put together a talk around this.  What a great topic.  Please
consider doing this.  You have plowed a lot of ground here and your
experiences would be helpful to a lot of your fellow Trilug compadres.

I am already looking forward to this!

Dwain

Subject: Re: [TriLUG] Looking for linux friendly web hosting
I am presently in a location with Spectrum cable internet, but I'm getting
ready to move to a rural area where the only option for wired internet is
the local phone co (Comporium) DSL at 1.5 Mbs speed.   I am presently using
a visible.com over-the-air internet at that location.   It's OK, and
certainly a better speed than the wired option, but with visible.com, I
don't have the option (AFAIK) of having an incoming connection, so I have a
Linode $5/mo shared plan for things that I need to be able to access from
outside.
    I am interested in the StarLink internet when (if) it becomes
available, but I'm curious if anyone here knows whether that will provide a
fixed IP address that can be utilized for incoming connections.   I'd be
fine with one that wasn't "fixed" long-term, but that was fixed short-term
- much like normal DSL or cable internet, where you could use a service
like DYNDNS.

Subject: Re: [TriLUG] Looking for linux friendly web hosting
I recently moved a bunch of personal projects to Hetzner, a German provider
that does a mix of virtual private server and dedicated server hosting. The
VPS I’m on is €3 a month (at most) and I get my choice of distributions (or
I can supply an ISO and do it myself). They also offer a neat “green
hosting” service: as they rotate out their servers from cloud-hosting duty,
you can rent them as dedicated hardware colo for a fraction of the usual
price, so you can get a lot more hardware and they avoid having to junk old
stuff.

They’re all hosted in Germany or Finland, but I have to say I’ve not
noticed the latency. A quick Zerotier install and it’s like the server is
sitting on my home network.

For more traditional website-package hosting, I’ve been pretty happy with
a2hosting.com—I’ve had one of their website packages for a long time. Their
support has been responsive, they have cPanel as a standard with all the
tooling for databases and frameworks, and they’ve done a good job of
keeping things up to date so I’m not worried about a site getting popped
because of an outdated library.
